how long is transit?
the airport itself has heaps to do but if you've got time, theres a pet / fish store area called Ang Moh Kio (just ask a taxi driver they should know).

Just there in Jan. Must visit the river safari at singapore zoo- amazing freshwater displays inc 1.76 miliiin litre tank with manatee, pacu, arapiama etc. Other must see is SEA aquarium on sentosa, worlds second largest tank I beleive & heaps of beautiful reef & fresh displays. Everything is so clean & well maintained. If you have time grab a look at the cloud dome at gardens by the bay & slip up to the sky park at marina bay sands ( tell them you are going up for a drink & entry is free). Loved Singapore.

We took the cable car from mt faber, very cool. The pass included the cable car trip across sentosa as well. It is a holiday island so lots of activities including universal studios, water park, flying fox & other stuff like that. Fun if it is your thing or with kids. Personally the walks & beaches are more me. Very pretty looking & nice jungles. I only spent the day there so hard to say much more except- see the aquarium. Clark quay is one place we missed & is supposed to be the most awesome place for a meal & drinks. The other was palau ubin (?), a small traditional fishing island that is all jungle that you ride bikes around - next time. So much to see, chinatown, little india, day & night zoo, museums, war memorials etc etc. biggest tip is visit the tourist spots during the week, no crowds- weekends are nuts.

here's a tip...
99% of the time of you're taking the mrt (subway) , there is usually a local hawker or cafe that will serve local food at a fraction of the price compared to say if you eat in orchard Rd or any 'touristy' area.
if you must eat in the city or in orchard Rd, food courts such as in ion or wisma shopping centre area really good and still affordable.

for example if you have a normal chicken rice in orchard Rd or city area its usually around $10-15.
if you eat at local hawker areas its like $4-5.
